#IEEEMcGill #Arduino #TheFactory #Student #ForgeMcGill #Engineering #ECSESS

Learn to build with Arduino UNO! ⚡

A hands-on workshop where you will learn the basics of Arduino, electrical circuit, Arduino coding (Part 1), and integrate different kinds of sensor and motor (Part 2). Whether you are a beginner or an experienced maker, the workshop series is open to anyone interested in learning about Arduino and building interactive projects. No prior experience is necessary, but basic programming and electronics knowledge is helpful. BONUS: This workshop will be a great preparation for Forge McGill - a Hardware Hackathon by The Factory!

Part 1: Introduction to Arduino

Location: ENGTR 0600 (Trottier Building Basement)
Time: 6PM - 8PM on January 23rd, 2024
Topic:
- Introduction to the Arduino UNO board, Arduino IDE, and the programming language.
- Basics of electronics, circuit, and analog/digital signal processing.
- Learn the basics of electronics through hands-on circuit building with a breadboard, resistors, LEDs, and more!

Part 2: Sensors and motors

Location: ENGTR 0600 (Trottier Building Basement)
Time: 6PM - 8PM on January 30th, 2024
Topic: How to use sensors and motors with Arduino to build an interactive circuit. You will learn how to use the following components:
- Infrared Reflective (IR)
- Ultrasonic
- Servo motors

Important Information 🚨

Each workshop costs $5. Payment and registration via Zeffy link under Registration section below!
There pizza and drinks are provided ! 🍕🍕🍕
Please bring your own computer with the Arduino IDE installed.
Please bring your USB adapter that can support USB-A port. The Arduino UNO board uses USB-A to USB-B cable to work with your machine.

We look forward to seeing you at the workshop!
